!970's.....State had a chance to have legal gambling in WA State...."the do gooders, churches, and others banded together to get that shot down."

Tribes saw a chance to jump in.....well you know the rest of the story. So our tax base is "sales tax, business tax, gas taxes, license fees, special levies, etc."...Not that others ways to, fund the spending beast in Olympia, but the taxpayers aren't buying the "state income tax" that has been tried many times.

Remember we did have the chance, 1st, to legalize gambling.......You see it now, tribal casino's are jammed......Reno hates it, many people from here, used to fly, drive to Reno just to gamble or buy booze....some on here would remember those days.
